The 26 November demonstration against unemployment was a great step forward in the fight for the right to work.

The fear that this put into the right-wing leadership was shown by by the TUC'. It confirms once again that the £6 pay limit isn't part of a policy to protect employment but is a pure and simple sell-out to the bosses.

But despite this first success there are still big weaknesses-most of The demonstration had a 'protest' character and was not centred on the workers in the forefront of the struggle-for example those at Personna and Chrysler. Clear and vital demands and slogans were not put forward by the demonstration's organisers and no clear line was put forward for what to do locally and nationally following the demonstraHOT.

Despite the direct sabotage of the TUC, 20,000 workers marched against the policies of the Government.

Murray's hysterical attack on the "co-operation' of 'extremist groups' and a "handful of Labour MPs' who dared to 'take part in activities condemned which flow from the Communist Party's 'pressurise the Government' line.
